WEBVTT MEGAN: LOOK AT THAT FACE HOW CUTE. HE JOINS US FROM PET RESCUE WITH A GORGEOUS CAT. THIS IS MARIETTA. 5 YEARS OLD. SHE WAS FOUND AS A STRAY AND CLOSE TO THE FARM WHERE THE SHELTER IS. SHE'S JUST A VERY LOVABLE CAT. DO NOT LIKE DOGS. DEFINITELY SHOULDN'T BE IN A HOME WITH DOGS BECAUSE SHE IS FEARFUL OF THEM. YOU SEE HOW CALM AND RELAXED. SO SWEET AND LOVEABLE AND NEEDS A NICE HOME, QUIET HOME WHERE SHE COULD SETTLE IN AND BE THE HEAD OF THE FAMILY SO TO SPEAK. YOU WERE SAYING YOU HAVE 600 CATS. YOU WANT TO GET THEM HOMES AND GET THEM THE APPROPRIATE HOME. IT COULD BE UP TO A 19-YEAR COMMITMENT AND CATS WILL LIVE UP TO 15 TO 19 YEARS ESPECIALLY IF YOU FEED THEM WELL. IT IS SOMETHING YOU WANT TO CONSIDER BEFORE YOU DO THAT. CATS ARE EASIER THAN DOG BUT THERE IS A COMMITMENT. CATS ARE EXTREMELY DEPENDENT AND DON'T LIKE CHANGES. THEY LIVE IN OPEN AREAS AND YOU WILL FIND THE SAME CAT IN THE SAME SPOT DAY AFTER DAY. THEY LOVE THEIR SPOT AND THEY DON'T LIKE CHANGE. WE HAVE SEEN CATS THAT PEOPLE HAVE GIVEN UP AND COME TO THE SHELTER AND THEY STOP EATING AND CATS GET A DISEASE WHICH IS FROM NOT EATING AND IT IS HARD TO TELL BECAUSE THEY ACT LOVABLE AND SWEET BUT WON'T SEAT AND WE HAVE TO PUT FEEDING TUBES IN THIS EM -- TUBES IN THEM. MEGAN: IS IT A MATTER OF IT BEING BREEDING SEASON AND PEOPLE LEAVING THEM? WE THINK IN HER CASE SOMEBODY JUST DUMPED HER. AND CATS REALLY ARE USED TO LIVING IN A HOUSE AND TO GO OUT IN THE WILD THEY WERE NOT BORN INTO THAT SO THEY ARE NOT USED TO IT SO THINK MAY NOT SURVIVE. IF YOU HAVE A CAT KEEP A COMMITMENT. MEGAN: BEFORE WE GO WHERE CAN PEOPLE FIND YOU? FROM YOU FREEDOM, PENNSYLVANIA. MEGAN: CAT GOT YOUR TONGUE? 717-993 -- 3232 OR GO TO OUR WEBSITE AND FACEBOOK AND WE ARE OPEN MONDAY, WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY FROM 1:00 TO 3:00 AND
